Enjoy the transition from summer into winters with an interesting collection of purple fall flowers, which I am about to bring to life through this article.

When the warm summer months begin to fade, and the long days start to shorten, we know winter is arriving. But before the chilly winter wind begins to blow, comes the fall, also known as autumn. Fall is also associated with harvest, and its mention can be found in countless number of poems, ballads, and prose.

The months of this weather depend upon which hemisphere one lives in: Northern hemisphere - September to November, and Southern hemisphere - March to May. Some variations in the date are quite possible, as the climatic conditions vary every year.

As bright sunny days begin to fade way early, nature has found an excellent way to ensure that the landscape stays sprayed with warm colors, with rich hues of purple. This is one color that stands out like a riot in any garden, be it a flower or foliage. It demands attention, and gets it too. It provide depth and contrast, at the same time.
